Cunard's flagship Queen Mary 2 sails the iconic Southampton ↔ New York transatlantic route. The ship and Cunard's other UK departures (Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria) use a mix of Southampton terminals.
Terminal assignments
- Queen Mary 2: typically Mayflower Cruise Terminal (Berth 106) or City Cruise Terminal (Berth 101) — varies by sailing.
- Queen Elizabeth: typically QEII Cruise Terminal (Berths 38/39).
- Queen Victoria: typically QEII or Mayflower.
Cunard publishes terminal assignments closer to sailing date. Share your ship and sailing date with us at booking — we route accordingly.
Transatlantic-specific timing
QM2 transatlantic boarding is more relaxed than UK round-trip cruises — boarding typically opens late morning, sailing afternoon, with formal first-night dinner. Our chauffeur drops are usually scheduled 12:00-15:00.
Cunard passenger profile
Cunard tends toward formalwear and older demographic — vehicle category usually Executive saloon or Executive MPV. Boot space for formalwear garment bags matters.
Pricing
Same fixed-fare from St Pancras (£165) as other Southampton cruise terminals. Per-mile from local pickups.
